"But what," badgers a relentless voice, "exactly are you doing out here? What are you accomplishing? What are you getting out of it? And what, oh especially what are you going to do with your life?"

The voice usually stops me. Knocks me down, kicks sand in my face. But this time, finally, I tell the voice to shut up. It's a stupid question, what are you going to do with your life. Setting out to do something with your life is like sitting down to eat a moose. Nobody ever did anything succussfully with their life. Instead they did something with their day. Each day.

Sunrise is birth. Sleep is death. Each day is your life.

Let the moose run. Eat some blueberries.

I'm I REALLY going??

Hello every Being,
I hope this post finds you accepting whatever you are feeling in this moment.
So I made it to Hong Kong. Traveling through China again was all too familiar and the cold weather got me thinking of Christmas. Hong Kong has been interesting, insightful, expensive, tiring, beautiful. I've met some really kind people hear. I went to an all night movie screening. The films all had something to do with Aids and I learned a lot about Hiv in China and Africa. Selling blood in the last 3o years was a way for chinese people (mostly quite monetarily poor people) to get some extra money but ended up giving a lot of people aids: the donors and the recievers. There wasn't much knowlege about aids so people were really afraid of it and would ostrasize the people that had it, not knowing how contagious it was. In africa, specifically Kenya, many people won't admit to having aids because it is seen as a dirty thing, coming from prostitution or homosexuality. Many teachers preach abstanance and to stay away from condoms, because the church is against stoping procreation. Interesting stuff. And the people that attended the film screening were really nice.
I also met a nice friend and fellow cser. I wasn't able to find a host in Hong Kong and accomodation is really expensive for me: $15/night for a bed. I figured there would be other cser's in my situation so I thought maybe I can share my room with another person unable to find a host. And I ended up meeting a beautiful person whom later invitated me to meet more beautiful people. We went for a swim, talked about a lot of spiritual and nonspiritual things. I learned more about Kung Fu, felt inspired to rekindle my weakend conection with non-human Beings AND I saw the biggest buddha I've ever seen accompanied with lots of calm energy.
Tomorrow is the day that my ship shall set sail, I've been told. I can't really believe it. We will see. If I do leave tomorrow I should arrive to Prince Rupert on the 16th, catch the bus on the 17th and arrive home on the night of the 18th. HOME!

Hope everyone else out there is enjoying their HOME
Love
